CAPTAIN AMERICA #37
ACT THREE OF "THE EPIC THE DEATH OF CAPTAIN AMERICA" STORY BEGINS!
With a new Cap now established, things go from bad to worse as the Red Skull makes an unexpected move for the very soul of America! And what was it that Sharon Carter saw at the end of the last issue? Act Three - The Man Who Bought America - begins here! By the most popular Cap team in years - Brubaker and Epting!
Always on the list. If you cut me back to one comic a month, this would have to be it. Hopefully, you do not intend to do so. :) I'm certainly looking forward to seeing Sharon take a larger role again--actually, I am hoping to see her save herself rather than being rescued, but since right now we don't know what's going on with her, I'm not sure that's a realistic hope.
SECRET INVASION #1 (of 8)
SECRET INVASION IS HERE!! Years in the making, months in the teasing...and it all STARTS HERE!!
The shape-shifting alien race known as the Skrulls has secretly infiltrated every super-powered organization on Earth with one goal...full-scale invasion! In this DOUBLE-SIZED first issue, page after page unveils reveal after reveal and shocking moment after shocking moment! Brian Bendis and Leinil Francis Yu leap off the pages of mega-hit New Avengers and deliver a story that will change the Marvel Universe forever.
THE MARVEL UNIVERSE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!!
Actually I am torn on this one. I am, actually, genuinely interested in finding out what happens here. But I'm not sure I'm all that interested in reading the story. I think that probably this is a wait-for-trade sort of situation, if that.
MIGHTY AVENGERS #12
SECRET INVASION TIE-IN! The Eisner-award-winning team of Brian Bendis and Alex Maleev (NEW AVENGERS ILLUMINATI, HALO: UPRISING) reunite to answer the question that has been on every comic fan's mind for years...WHERE THE HELL HAS NICK FURY BEEN?? Rewinding the clock to Fury's time in SECRET WAR, follow Fury as he puts together the pieces of his life and starts finding clues to a Secret Invasion that makes him TARGET NUMBER ONE. A major Skrull reveal happens in these pages!
On the one hand, "Secret Invasion Tie-in" isn't a big selling point. On the other hand, come on, Nick Fury!
NEW AVENGERS #40
SECRET INVASION TIE-IN!Very special guest artist Jimmy Cheung returns to the pages of New Avengers for this very important tie-in issue. Spinning right off of events in NEW AVENGERS: ILLUMINATI #1, find out exactly how the Skrull empire was able to infiltrate the Marvel Universe and who instigated the invasion and why.
Well, I didn't read the NA: Illuminati, but I read about it on the internets so I suppose I'm ready for this.
MS. MARVEL #26
Out–gunned and on the run! With S.H.I.E.L.D. convinced she’s a Skrull impostor, Ms. Marvel must fight for her identity and her life against her very own Lightning Strike Force! But when the Strike Force has a Ms. Marvel of their own, even Carol can’t be sure she’s Carol anymore! SECRET INVASION: The Infiltration continues here from Brian Reed (Captain Marvel) and Adriana Melo (Witchblade).
The "even Carol can't be sure she's Carol anymore" sounds a little cheesy, and you had to figure that would come up someplace in Secret Invasion. I am probably still on board with this one, though.
MOON KNIGHT #17
In the age of the Superhuman Registration Act, the only good hero is one that plays by the book -- which the card-carrying Moon Knight most assuredly does not. Indeed, with Moon Knight fast becoming the poster child for recklessness and brutality, the question of the day is just how he got a Registration Card in the first place! As Tony Stark's investigation unearths the ugly truth, Marc Spector braces himself for the consequences, unaware that an equally grave threat is preparing to strike. Carson Knowles -- a.k.a. the Black Spectre -- is back and he wants payback.
I'm still liking Moon Knight at this point, and this looks like a fun storyline.
SHE-HULK #28
Tracking down the mysterious bomber who attacked her in New York City, She-Hulk finds herself in prison – and the story of why she left her legal career behind finally begins to come to light.
Yay, we finally (maybe) find out why Jennifer isn't doing any of the things we are used to seeing her do!
THE LAST DEFENDERS #2 (of 6)
The Defenders are back -- Nighthawk! Colossus! She-Hulk! The Blazing Skull! -- and they've got their very own state to protect and serve (just don't call 'em "new", True Believers)! The Sons of the Serpent have moved in and only one fully-sanctioned team of super heroes can stop them! But will their first official mission end up as their FINAL mission? Believe it or not ... yes! Not to mention guest-stars galore in the must-have superhero mini-series of 2008!
Yes, I want, but will wait for the trade.
THE TWELVE #4 (of 12)
As the savage murders continue, and members of the Twelve come under a cloud of suspicion, tensions flare, and hero faces off against hero! Plus, the unbelievable origin of underground secret agent Rockman!
Another one I plan to get in trade form eventually. I seem more inclined to do that with miniseries, rather than with ongoings.
YOUNG AVENGERS PRESENTS #4 (of 6)
The Vision is going through changes. He's a passionate man. And an impulsive one, if his decision to go and visit Stature at her Initiative training camp is anything to go by. He's got some important things to tell her. But will getting intangibly stuck halfway through her body while A.I.M. are attacking put a damper on his ardour?
I probably ought to have waited for trade on this one as well, but I'm not that patient.
